摘要
Kinectin has been characterized as the first known receptor for the molecular motor kinesin, which is critically involved in microtubule-based vesicle transport and membrane trafficking. Here we identify kinectin as a target for caspase-mediated proteolysis during apoptosis, Treatment of cells with diverse apoptotic stimuli including TNF, anti-Fas, anticancer drugs, gamma-radiation or ceramide leads to rapid proteolytic cleavage of the 160-kDa form of kinectin to a 120-kDa fragment. Evidence is provided that kinectin cleavage is mediated by caspase 7. (C) 1998 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
